An Australian couple's Saturday night Uber ride turned ugly when their driver launched a homophobic rant aimed at the two women.

Melbourne resident Lucy Thomas, who happens to be the CEO of anti-bullying organization Project Rockit, recorded the exchange and shared it on Sunday. In the clip, Thomas can be heard confronting the driver about his language, prompting him to double down.

"Uber does not tolerate any form of discrimination, and we have been in contact with this rider to offer our support," a spokesperson said in a statement sent to the Herald and other news outlets.

Thomas followed up on Twitter, saying that she had a good experience reporting the incident but noting that Uber's privacy rules had initially prevented an agent from telling her whether the driver would be terminated.

On Monday, Thomas posted a note she received from a different Uber driver with a more supportive message.

The homophobic incident in Australia is the latest in a long line of ugly and sometimes violent Uber encounters, ranging from sexual harassment to rape and murder. The problem is so rampant that someone started a ride-sharing safety website, Whosdrivingyou.org, to collect reports of deaths, assaults, kidnappings, DUIs, and fake drivers and warn people about the risks.

In Uber's customer support system, there are thousands of tickets that contain the words "rape" and "assaulted," BuzzFeed reports . Uber claims those numbers largely overstate the actual number of rape and sexual assault claims on the platform between December 2012 and August 2015, with five and "fewer than" 170, respectively.
